The history of Arab boycott inspired by the Nazis

Image

Francis R. Nicosia, The Third Reich and the Palestine Question (London,. 1985): 

The Jews were driven out or exterminated in the pathological pursuit of racial purity; the Arabs were simple instruments, used or ignored depending upon whichever approach best served to neutralize Britain.

Arab observers usually missed Nazism's special regard for empire and their own subordinate place in the Nazi racial scheme. (In a recent article, Stefan Wild shows how Hitler deigned to perpetuate Arab ignorance by permitting the deletion of passages 'offending the mentality and sensitivity of race-conscious Arabs' from a projected Arabic translation of Mein Kampf.) Indeed, so taken were many Palestinian Arabs with the anti-Jewish message of Nazi ideology that they failed to link the worsening of their own predicament with Nazism's rise. In the vulgar wording of the German Consul in Jerusalem, the Arabs were 'too primitive politically to fully appreciate the fact that Germany and German Jewish policy were greatly intensifying their problem'. That there were Palestinian Arabs who professed admiration for a doctrine that held them in such utter contempt must be counted as the other great irony of Nazi Germany's growing impact on Palestine in the 1930s. 

The Third Reich and the Palestine Question - Page 86 

Wolff again met with the Mufti and other sheiks from Palestine one month ... that the Arabswere too politically naive to recognize and fully accept the link between German Jewish policy and their problems in Palestine. 

Timotheus Wurst, the German consul in Jaffa, effectively summarized this prevailing attitude in 1935, observing that the Arab attitude was conditioned primarily by the anti-Jewish policies of the Hitler regime and to some degree by the disciplined, militaristic and intensely nationalistic posture of the NSDAP. He further noted that many Arabs hoped to pursue the aims of Arab nationalism in Palestine and elsewhere by creating a movement based on based on the National Socialist model and experience.


On this stage the Nazi war against the Jews was "peaceful".

The Arab Executive Committee of the Syrian-Palestinian Congress called for a boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933 and in 1934, the Arab Labor Federation conducted a boycott as well as an organized picketing of Jewish businesses. In 1936, the Palestinian Arab leadership called on another boycott and threatened those who did not respect the boycott with violence, however, this boycott was unsuccessful as Jewish lawyers, physicians, and hospitals were too heavily integrated into Palestinian society.

The Arab League was formed on 22 March 1945 with six members. On 2 December 1945, it issued its first formal declaration of an economic boycott of the Jewish community of Palestine. The declaration urged both Arab United Nations member states and Arab states which had not yet obtained UN membership to prohibit the products and usage of the products of Jewish industry in Palestine, effective January 1, 1946. The declaration, contained in Arab League Resolution 16, stated:
Products of Palestinian Jews are to be considered undesirable in Arab countries. They should be prohibited and refused as long as their production in Palestine might lead to the realization of Zionist political aims
The Arab League began to create the apparatus for implementing the resolution in February the same year. The first body established for this purpose was the Permanent Boycott Committee, based in Cairo, Egypt. On 12 June the Boycott Committee adopted a recommendation in Arab League Resolution 70, which called upon the Arab states to set up national boycott offices.

On 19 May 1951, the Arab League Council passed Resolution 357, which established a successor to the defunct Permanent Boycott Committee, the Central Boycott Office (CBO), with its headquarters in Damascus. Branch offices of the Damascus CBO were established in each of the Arab League member states. To direct the CBO the resolution created the position of Boycott Commissioner and provided for the appointment of his deputies, who were to function as liaison officers accredited by each member state of the Arab League. The primary task of the Damascus CBO was to coordinate the boycott with its affiliated offices, and to report regularly to Arab League Council. Biannual meetings were to be held each year after 1951 to coordinate boycott policies and to compile blacklists of individuals and firms which had violated the boycott. Each member state of the Arab League would enforce the resolution through legal and administrative measures. Finally, the resolution stipulated that "participation in regional conferences organized on the initiative of one country or by an international organization could not be attended if Israel were also invited", expanding upon its 1950 decree that such a conference would not be organized by an Arab state.[11]
Boycotts were almost exclusively applied against specific individuals and firms in third countries, and very rarely against the countries themselves, excluding a few short-lived boycotts of countries in the early 1950s. A plan was made by the Arab League in 1952 to boycott the Federal Republic of Germany after it signed the Reparations Agreement with Israel, which would provide Israel with restitution for the slave labor of Jews during the Holocaust and compensate for losses in Jewish livelihood and property that was stolen due to Nazi persecution and genocide. The Arab League strongly opposed the agreement,[12] but its threats to boycott West Germany were never carried out due to economic considerations—the Arab League would be impacted far more negatively by losing trade with West Germany than vice versa. Similarly, at its second meeting on the boycott in 1953, the Arab League proposed a wide range of restrictions on trade with Cyprus, which had become a hub of illicit Arab-Israeli trade. The restrictions were greatly relaxed due to international criticism of the boycott of an entire state not involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but they were not completely eliminated

Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World by JEFFREY HERF


On March 31,1933, two months after Hitler came to power, Haj Amin el-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, called on Heinrich Wolff, head of the German Consulate in Jerusalem.2 In his report to the Auswartiges Amt (Foreign Ministry), Wolff wrote that Husseini said, "Muslims inside and outside Palestine welcome the new regime in Germany and hope for the spread of fascist, antidemocratic state leadership to other countries." In his view, "current Jewish influence on economy and politics" was "damaging everywhere and needed to be fought." In the hope of doing economic damage to the Jews, Husseini opined that "Muslims hope for a boycott of the Jews in Germany because it would then be adopted with enthusiasm in the whole of the Muslim world." Further, he was willing to spread the boycott message among Muslims traveling through Palestine and to "all Muslims." He also looked forward to trade with "non-Jewish merchants" dealing in German products.3 Husseini's remarks on March 1933 demonstrated his early enthusiasm for the Nazi regime based on his ideological support for its antidemocratic and anti-Jewish policies. Wolff reported that though anti-Jewish sentiment was not widespread in the Arab population, it was more prevalent in the upper strata and among the intellectuals, who together protested against "Jewish immigration, Jewish land purchases, and Jewish capital."4 The clear implication of Wolff's memo was that if the Nazi regime made appeals to Arabs and Muslims, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and perhaps others might become potential allies and collaborators.

The anger of the radical Arabs in Berlin often turned on fellow Arabs who entertained the possibility of coexistence with Jews in Palestine. On April 30, the Arab Nation expressed rage at Arab political leaders in the Jaffa municipality who organized athletic contests with Jewish athletes. This was "a very dangerous tendency." The Arabs could not "maintain their integrity without the decision to avoid the Jews and never go near them." The tendency toward friendship had to be resisted, for the Jewish danger remained. Force was the only solution. Arabs must refuse to share Palestine "with any other people.... Noble Arabs! You should maintain your policy of boycotting the Jews. You should punish those who ignore the boycott. All Arabs who collaborate with the Jews should be destroyed before they help the Jews destroy US . 1146


The flood of anti-Semitic propaganda on Germany's Arabic-language radio in the first six months of 1943 caught the attention of the Middle East desk of the U.S. Military Intelligence Division. Its summary of themes from Axis broadcasts issued in June 1943 suggested that the anti-Semitic offensive was even greater than that recorded by Kirk's staff in Cairo. The MID reported that the broadcasts repeated the following points: Only Axis victory would prevent the Jews from realizing their ambitions. Jews were the prophets of Bolshevism. The Arabs would be impoverished living under the British and Americans. The Jews needed to be suppressed. All Arabs who failed to boycott Jews should be destroyed.

One certainly need not be a Nazi to boycott Israel's government and Israeli businesses that support that government as it commits war crimes, territorial annexation, ethnic cleansing, mass killings, targeting of civilians, violations of international law, aggression against its neighbors, treating Gaza as an open-air concentration camp, and so on.

Since you've brought it up, Israel's leadership has clearly taken many lessons to heart from the Nazis in how it treats civilians, their neighbors, and people who are not Israeli or Jewish.

Their relationship continued after the war, under the Arab pressure the Germans at first refused to pay compensation to the Jews,


T.H Tetens: New Germany and the Old Nazis (1961) -

Dr. Adenauer had risked his personal prestige and the stability of his coalition government when he told the Bundestag on September 27, 1951, that the German people must be "conscious of the immeasurable suffering brought upon the Jews in Germany and the occupied territories during the National Socialist period." The Chancellor stated plainly that "unspeakable crimes were committed in the name of the German people which call for moral and material restitution."

According to the Chancellor's biographer, Paul Weymar, the suggestion of paying reparations to Israel was met with "serious disapproval" by members of Dr. Adenauer's own party and by the politicians making up his government coalition. There were many who had not the slightest recognition of the need for reparations, not the faintest feeling that the past had to be redressed, if only in the form of financial indemnity.* The Finance Minister, Dr. Schaeffer, was opposed to making reparation payments to Israel. The Adenauer press and German commerce and manufacturing circles feared that compensation to Israel would alienate Germany's friends in the Middle East. "The Arabs had always been pro-German, they had been the only asset German diplomacy had possessed after the collapse, and now this traditional friendship was being jeopardized."

Apart from the moral principle involved, there were important political and psychological considerations which compelled Dr. Adenauer to reach an agreement on the Jewish claims.* Despite boycott threats from the Arabs, Dr. Adenauer pressed for a settlement which called for payments in goods and materials to Israel amounting to $715,000,000, extending over a period of twelve years. When the bill reached the Bundestag for final approval on March 18, 1953, the Chancellor found himself deserted by a large faction of his own party and by most members of his coalition. Out of 402 members of Parliament, only 238 voted in favor of the bill; the remaining abstained or voted against it. Without the support of 125 Social Democrats, Dr. Adenauer would have lost the day. Of his own 143 party members, only 83 voted for the bill. More than 50 percent of the Adenauer coalition members refused to support the settlement with Israel. Among those who abstained were cabinet members Dr. Schaeffer and Dr. Seebohm. Some critics declared that the Adenauer coalition had exposed itself in a "shameful act of moral depravity" by disregarding the bare essentials of justice and human decency."

The shameful EU Arab Nazi "Palestinian" postwar alliance

Excerpt

Spoiler: show
In the 1950s and 1960s the Nazi worldwide diaspora, particularly in the Middle East, provided the cogs of these interwoven, high-level connections which remained discreet. As bankers, industrialists, diplomats, jurists, academics, journalists and politicians, even rising to the top in the police as in the case of Interpol, these former high officials—often converted to Islam—pursued common objectives with their Muslim allies. Postwar governments cautiously used their connections to improve their relations with the Muslim world.While working on European integration in a range of economic, social, monetary, legal and educational spheres, the Union tried to develop a common foreign policy that would place it on equal footing with the great powers.

Two French books examine in detail the postwar connections of European ex-Nazis and Arab leaders and their funding of the Palestinian terrorists movements through a Swiss banker, François Genoud. See Karl Laske, Le banquier noir: François Genoud (Paris: Seuil, 1996); and Pierre Péan, L’Extrémiste, François Genoud de Hitler à Carlos (Paris: Fayard, 1996). See also Klaus-Michael Mallman and Martin Cuppers, Nazi Palestine. The Plans for the Extermination of the Jews in Palestine (New York: Enigma Books, 2010); see also in German the recent publications of Klaus Gensicke and Gerhard Hopp.


The German officials who had worked with the pro-Nazi exiles in Berlin did not do too badly after the war. Indeed, they played key roles in the reconstruction of the West German diplomatic corps dealing with the Middle East. Wilhelm Melchers was asked to assist the Adenauer government in organizing and staffing the new Foreign Ministry. In 1951, he became the director of its office dealing with the Middle East. From 1953 to 1957, he directed the German legation in Baghdad and Amman and was the German ambassador to Iraq from November 1956 to May 1957.18 From 1946 to 1948, Kurt Munzel, the former director of the Orient Office, completed a doctorate in Islam studies and Islamic and Semitic philology at the University of Erlangen, later teaching Arabic and Turkish there (1947-49); in 1949 he was an assistant at the Orient Seminar of the University of Cologne. In 1983, he published a phrase book for Arabic in Egypt. Like Melchers, he was called back to the reemerging West German Foreign Ministry in 1950. From 1951 to 1953, he worked in the ministry's Office III with responsibilities for the Near and Middle East. He worked in the German Legations in Baghdad (1953-55) and Amman, Jordan (1954-55), and returned to work in Cairo in the German Legation (1955-61). He was promoted to the rank of German ambassador to the Congo (Leopoldville, 1961-64) and to Lebanon (Beirut, 1964-65) before returning to the Foreign Ministry in Bonn in 1965.19

In Europe in the early years of the cold war, opposition to Communism offered an umbrella under which some former fascist and Nazi sympathizers succeeded in changing political colors by obscuring details of their biographies in order to be born again as Western democrats.

The German Islamic link
In the 1950s and 1960s, no other country could claim to have so many different organizations grouped for the same over-all purpose. Among them were the German-Arab Society, directed by former Nazi party member Horst Morgenbrod; the Near and Middle East Association with its Nazi adherents in Hamburg and headed by Dr. Ernst Messerschmidt; the German-Arab Association in Bonn; the German-Arab League in Heidelberg; the German Regional Eur-African Center in Bad Godesberg; Dr. Fakoussa’s German-Arab Institute in Bonn; the German-Egyptian Society, in Frankfurt, directed by Frau Ursula Beyrich; the Association of Overseas Interests, in Winsdorf; the Society of the Friends of Africa, in Berlin; and the North African Club, of Hamburg and Berlin, whose chief was Hans Peter Rullmann.


While Israel was establishing itself, the network that had united European Nazis and fascists with Arabs before World War II was reemerging. In the early 1950s, many Nazi criminals and collaborators had found asylum in the Arab world, mainly in Egypt and Syria. There they lived under false names and worked in anti-Zionist propaganda centers, such as the Institute for the Study of Zionism, which was founded in Cairo in 1955. Its director, Alfred Zingler (alias Mahmoud Saleh), worked together with Dr. Johannes von Leers (d. 1965, alias Omar Amin), who had been a specialist on the “Jewish question” in Josef Goebbels’s propaganda department. Zingler’s main assistants were Dr. Werner Witschale and Hans Appler (Saleh Shafar), who had also served on the staff of Goebbels’s ministry, as well as Louis Heiden. Heiden was the editor of one of the many Arabic versions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and of a translation of Hitler’s Mein Kampf into Arabic. In 1955, the Cairo Egyptian special services for anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist propaganda hired Appler.

Other Nazis settled in Egypt as well. Most of them worked with the Egyptian government as advisers on anti-Zionist propaganda or assisted with the organization of police forces or as military trainers in Palestinian terrorist camps. In 1957, according to the Frankfurter Illustrierte, the number of Nazis in Egypt was over two thousand.9 Erich Altern (Ali Bella), the chief of the Jewish section of the Gestapo in occupied Galicia during the war, escaped to Egypt in the early 1950s, where he served as a military instructor in the Palestinian camps. Baumann (Ali Ben Khader), who had collaborated in the extermination of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto and went into hiding, became a military specialist in Egypt for the army of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

By the 1960s, Arab activities in Europe had greatly increased. Arab diplomats, Arab League offices, and thousands of Arab students in European universities all contributed to a much stronger Arab presence. Networks were established between Arabs and neo-Nazi and fascist movements eager to build close links with the Arab world. They planned to issue propaganda leaflets, pamphlets, and books on the “Jewish Question,” as well as distribute Arab League literature dealing with the Middle East. They circulated the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and anti-Zionist propaganda.

A European Nazi-Arab network emerged to exchange information on world affairs and facts concerning Jewish activities in all countries. It also fostered suitable liaisons with Arab representatives. Many of these Nazi and fascist groups aimed at building a European Middle East policy. In Germany, the head of the Arab office in Bonn, Hassan Awat Fakoussa, an attaché at the Egyptian Embassy, published a weekly information bulletin that contained much material from the neo-Nazi press (Deutsche National-Zeitung, Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung). One of the leading figures in the German neo-Nazi movement, a former SS officer named Karl Ernst Priester, was a founding member of the European Social Movement. After his death, a police investigation revealed that he was one of the chief European agents for the Arab League.10

In Austria, the right-wing organs were Reichsruf and Nation Europa, a monthly for intellectuals. In Belgium, Paul E. Laurent, a former Belgian SS sympathizer, headed the Centre de Documentation pour la Collaboration avec les Peuples Arabes and kept links with the fascist movements Jeune Europe, EuropaFront, and Europe Réelle. In the United Kingdom, the British leader of the Nazi National Socialist Movement, Colin Jordan, maintained Arab-Nazi cooperation. In Sweden, the C. E. Carlberg Foundation in Stockholm supported this collaboration and close contacts with Arabs, particularly with what was then the United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria (UAR). Such links developed also with Italian fascist movements.

Thus, postwar fascist and neo-Nazi groups endeavored to establish a widespread network throughout Europe. Many were funded by the Arab League. Despite their racist ideology, some sought the Arab alliance because they shared the same hatred of Israel. They opened offices in various key cities—Strasbourg, Vienna, Lausanne, and Malmö, an important conference center in Sweden, and elsewhere. James Parkes, historian and Anglican clergyman, has listed some of these organizations in his 1963 book, Antisemitism.11

Although numerous, these organizations failed to gain large numbers of members and were forced to operate in a semiclandestine fashion. They all rejected parliamentary democracy and shared a profound hatred of the Jews, Israel, and America—the power that had destroyed the Nazi-fascist dream of world hegemony.

The rise of Palestinian terrorism in the early 1970’s then, caused some elements of the European extreme right to once again take interest in the Middle Eastern affairs. After King Hussein of Jordan expelled the PLO from Jordan in 1970, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat created a new terrorist organization called Black September. The organization established strong ties with German left-wing rad­icals. Working together, they carried out one of the most infamous acts in the annals of European terrorism-the kidnapping and subsequent killing of sev­eral Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympic games in Munich, Germany. Actually, representatives of the extreme right had collaborated with Palestin­ian rejectionist groups long before the representatives of the radical left had.

A few neofascists even fought alongside Arab guerrillas in Middle Eastern conflicts. For example, Robert Courdroy, a veteran of the Belgian SS, died in combat while fighting for the Palestinians in 1968. And, on some occasions, the extreme right actually worked side by side with the radical left in support of Palestinian terrorists. Other efforts to collaborate in the field of terrorism followed. For example, there were several instances of cooperation between German right-wing extre­mists and terrorist groups in the Middle East. Following the example of Euro­pean left-wing terrorists, members of a small German neo-Nazi group, Wehrsportgruppe-Hoffmann, sought to develop an alliance with the PLO and other Middle Eastern terrorist groups during the 1970s and early 1980s. Karl Heinz Hoffman, the leader of the group, traveled to Damascus in July 1980 to develop links between the PLO and East German intelligence agents. Hoffman also worked out a deal that provided used trucks to the PLO in exchange for training. (Ibid).

Members of this group reportedly received paramilitary training in PLO camps in Jordan and fought alongside Palestinians in that country during the "Black September" of 1970. (Bruce Hoffman, Right- Wing Terrorism in Europe since 1980).

One German neo-Nazi mercenary, Karl von Kyna, even died in combat during a Palestinian commando raid in September 1967. (Lee, "The Swastika and Crescent") .

In the 1960s, the Quai d’Orsay and the French Catholic Left sponsored numerous pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Europe, Lebanon, and Cairo.[14] These movements revived those Euro-Arab currents, Palestinian in particular, which from the 1930s had fostered active collaboration between the European Nazi and fascist regimes and the religious and political leaders in the Arab lands. Their activism went back to the use made of Islam by the Axis regimes in their struggle against the Soviet Union.In 1941 Nazi theoretician Alfred Rosenberg was appointed Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories. His colleague, Gerhard von Mende, director of the Ostministerium, the Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, became the architect of the collaboration between the Wehrmacht and the battalions made up of defector Muslim soldiers from Soviet Turkestan. This activity was bolstered by the help provided by Hitler’s Arab agent, Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Al-Husseini was the religious and spiritual head of the Arabs of Palestine during the British Mandate, and took refuge in Berlin following the failure of his pro-Nazi insurrection in Iraq, which ended in a pogrom (Farhud) against the Jews in June 1941. Al-Husseini cooperated with von Mende and indoctrinated the Muslim SS troopers from Asia and the Balkans and Arabs in the beliefs of the Muslim Brotherhood. Numbering about 250,000, the Muslim SS served as auxiliary forces in Poland, Yugoslavia and the extermination camps. Representatives of the Ostministerium attended the Wannsee Conference at which the Final Solution was decided upon.[15]After the war the Muslim soldiers, still sponsored by von Mende and a group of ex-officers of the Wehrmacht and SS that he had set up, regrouped in Munich and Hamburg. As naturalized Turks they obtained student status and during the 1950s were recruited by various sections of the CIA against the USSR. Von Mende maintained his contacts with the Mufti, the MB and Nazi criminals who had found refuge in Arab countries. These durable relationships between European supporters of the Third Reich and their Arab networks in the postwar period split off into European, pro-Arab groups against America and Israel. When Said Ramadan, son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, fled Egypt in 1954, he managed with CIA support to take control of the mosque in Munich to make it a center for MB influence throughout Europe. Using this base he set up a network of Muslim communities and centers spread across Europe, and from there, aided and abetted by European ex-Nazis, relaunched the war against Israel. According to Ian Johnson, “Munich was the bridgehead from which the Brotherhood spread throughout Western society.”[16]The denazification process in Federal Germany, full acknowledgment of the Shoah, rejection of antisemitism, and support for Israel particularly stressed under Chancellor Willy Brandt (1969–1974), a noted opponent and victim of the Nazi regime, opened the way for an Israel-German reconciliation. However, in the postwar period, in Germany as well as in the rest of Europe, especially in the countries under the communist yoke, former Nazis and their followers peopled the various government ministries. Some were even elevated to the highest positions of state, such as Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger, former member of the Nazi party; Theodore Oberländer, an ex-pogrom inciter who was head of the German Ministry for Refugees; Hans Globke, co-author of the Nuremberg race laws who was appointed Secretary of State by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (1953–1963), becoming his eminence grise; Walter Hallstein, professor of law in Nazi Germany and an officer in the Wehrmacht, who became architect of the European Community and first president of the European Commission from 1958 to 1967.This deep-rooted solidarity between European adherents to the Third Reich ideology and their Arab networks continued after the war in their shared collaboration against America and the Jews. From the mid-1960s, French policy revived these latent networks. The Quai d’Orsay endeavored to build a common EEC foreign policy tied in solidarity with the PLO of Yasser Arafat. On January 25–28, 1969, in Cairo, France sponsored the Second International Conference in Support of the Arab Peoples.[17] On November 22, 1970, in the Dar es Salaam area of Cairo, Georges Montaron, editor of the French weekly Témoignage chrétien, gave a lecture on “The Arab World and Western Opinion” to a crammed room. He deplored Europe’s ignorance of the Arab world, which he attributed to the effectiveness of Zionist propaganda. “Zionism can make use of anything; it has an army of propagandists, rabbinical Judaism, which identifies itself with Israeli policy, so that the majority of authentic French Jews double up as authentic Zionists. If you manage to make authentic Frenchmen or authentic Englishmen be at the same time authentic Eastern Arabs, how great will then be your influence!”[18]The Quai d’Orsay attempted to build solidarity with the PLO, a movement created in 1964. It strived to bring the European states into this alliance, which would become the fulcrum of the foreign policy of the EEC in the Mediterranean region, thwarting American ambitions.Great Britain’s joining the European Community (January 1973) strengthened the French project. According to unpublished sources from the Euro-Arab Dialogue movement,[19] in November 1973 the British Member of Parliament Christopher Mayhew and Raymond Offroy, member of the French National Assembly, envisaged the setting up of an association. Its mission consisted of bringing together their European colleagues who wished to improve Europe’s relations with the Arab world. The two men met during meetings of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and shared a common vision.

In his revealing book, Alexandre Del Valle describes the various sources that fed the growing current of Islamophilia among the European intelligentsia. The new Islamic vogue drew from the ranks of the respectable and from the disreputable, including clerics, communists, converts to Islam, and Nazi sympathizers.7
The philosophy of René Guénon in particular exercised a pervasive influence. Guénon was a French Nazi who had converted to Islam and lived in Cairo. He preached hatred of Western civilization and modern Western secularism, and maintained that Europe could be redeemed only through Islam. He was not alone in thinking that Islam would be the redeemer of the decadent West, as the tenacious Judeophobic current in the Church saw the Islamic destruction of Israel as a Christian victory.8 This atmosphere encouraged the flow of immigrants from Muslim countries and the further development of EAD policies along these lines.

In his book on Islamic totalitarianism, Alexandre Del Valle examines the symbolism of the Andalusian myth that is used to support Muslim political claims on Europe. The myth particularly inspires the anti-Christian “Association for the Return of Andalusia to Islam,” which was founded by Christian converts to Islam, communists and neo-Nazis from all over Europe.12 Del Valle describes the activities of people affiliated with the Vatican and other Christian bodies in adopting, engineering, and extending a European Islamophile culture. The American writer on Islamic jihad, Robert Spencer, has detected the same endorsement of Islam by the Church in North America.13 We now know that the EAD agreements between universities, cultural centers, publishers, and Churches instigated this cultural and media subversion of history targeting Western societies.

Palestinian terror organizations have benefited from enthusiastic empathy and encouragement among the countless ex-Nazis and collaborationist officials, former ministers, diplomats, officers, propagandists and intellectuals who recycled themselves in influential positions in postwar European society. Maintaining their links with the war criminals exfiltrated to the Arab countries, they established a complex network of political solidarity and economic interests that contributed to the building of a future Eurabia. The war against the Jews waged in World War II did not stop in 1945, for its ideology and tactics continued through other channels converging in Palestine.Among endless other examples, the case of Paul Dickopf illustrates such a situation. Dickopf, a former SS officer in German military intelligence (the Abwehr, intelligence gathering from 1921 to 1944), after the war became one of the directors, and then the president of West Germany’s Criminal Police (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA). On June 29, 1971, Hans Dietrich Genscher, West German Minister of the Interior, complimented Dickopf on his professional qualities.[44] At an EAD symposium in Hamburg (1983), Genscher, who later became Foreign Minister, recalled in his opening speech that shared political objectives cemented Euro-Arab solidarity.[45]Karl Laske and Pierre Péan mention the warm contacts of this former senior Gestapo officer with the international Nazi networks and the Palestinian terrorist organizations. In October 1968, with the help of the Nazi-Arab axis, Dickopf—supported by the votes of Arab states—became president of the Organization of the International Criminal Police (Interpol). Under his mandate, Interpol did nothing to stop terrorism, nor the wave of hijacked planes and the 1972 Munich massacre of the Israeli athletes.[46]The security of European territory was obtained in exchange for anti-Israel and anti-American policies. Even before the advent of widespread terrorism, de Gaulle’s France had adopted such a policy. According to Jean Bourdeillette, former French ambassador to Israel (1959–1965), “[In June 1967] the world discovered that Paris had crossed into the camp of the USSR and the Arab nations. . . . Israel was sacrificed to the demands of a conjugated anti-American pro-Arab policy.”[47] According to Raymond Kendall—three times elected Interpol General Secretary—the meeting of the International Criminal Police Organization (Mexico, October 1968) refused by a majority vote to consider a report on hijacking planes. After the Munich massacre (1972), Jean Nepote, himself an Interpol General Secretary (1963–1978) and former collaborator with the Nazis in the Vichy Government, refused to gather information on Arab terrorists on the pretext that the Munich crime was political and that Interpol should not interfere. The Report of the Interpol General Assembly in Frankfurt (September 1972) does not mention the Munich massacres although it had been heatedly discussed by the assembly.[48]The EU’s entire Mediterranean security strategy was later built on exonerating Palestinian terrorism by accusing Israel or America of double standards. Terrorism was not considered a criminal act but a political factor “with underlying causes.” These causes—Israel’s existence—had to be eliminated. France’s imperialist ambitions, and what Bourdeillette calls its “Great Muslim policy,”[49] together with the Nazification of the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC), and the cogs of EC institutions, provided the “underlying causes” of this European policy. Deprived of world power by the loss of its colonies on four continents, France turned to European integration and its alliance with the Arab-Muslim world as a means of regaining what it had lost in international affairs.To protect its southern flanks, Europe adopted multilateral policies of concession and appeasement dictated by the structure of the Euro-Arab Dialogue. In 1995 the European Union launched the Barcelona Process that established close relations, synergies, and solidarity with the Palestinians and Arab countries through a network of association agreements, while Israel—though nominally included in the process—was treated like the plague. In 2008 the Barcelona Process was renamed the Union for the Mediterranean.

Probably because of how racist Israel's government is, willingness to subject people not of the acceptable race to eugenics and sterilization against their will, and all that other business with ethnic cleansing and whatnot. If Hitler knew that the Jews in Israel would be sterilizing mass numbers of people based on race in the 2010s and get away with it, his mustache would literally be spinning if it still existed in his grave if that existed too.

It's interesting to point out that apologists of Zionist imperialism use 70-year old excuses of "the Arabs started it all" to justify continued warcrimes on their part, but what excuse exists to justify atrocities and crimes against humanity committed against African Jews? The Zionist propaganda nonsense is just pathetic and trite.

Today Germany spend billions on Palywood agitation (the so called "Human Rights" NGO's)

Echoes from past



Starting in 1933, the Mufti repeatedly offered to serve the German Nazi government. In the beginning, however, the Mufti’s fight against Jews was supported in terms of ideology alone. It was not until 1937 that the Mufti’s “Holy War” received substantive support from Nazi Germany in the form of financial assistance and the shipment of weapons. Klaus Gensicke writes in his dissertation on the Mufti’s collaboration with the Nazis: “The Mufti himself admitted that it was entirely due to the money contributed by the Germans that allowed him at that time to carry out the uprising in Palestine.”12 Thus, Hitler’s agents incited the anti-Jewish hatred of the Islamists in Palestine with slogans, weapons and money thereby encouraging the Muslim Brotherhood in
Egypt. 10
-
In June 1939, Hans Piekenbrock, the director of military intelligence in the Abwehr, wrote to its chief, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, that "through his middle man, the Grand Mufti has conveyed his sincere thanks for the support given to him so far. It was only as a result of the money we gave to him that it was possible to carry out the revolt in Palestine."78 The Germans sent arms shipments to Palestine by way of Iraq and Saudi Arabia with agreement of these governments. They sent money to finance the Palestine revolt and intensified contacts with anti-British military and circles close to King Farouk in Egypt. After the Munich conference of October 1938, the Nazi Party organization in Palestine aided Arab guerilla bands.79


According to League of Nation (the previous UN) member and anti Fascist Spaniard,Julio Alvarez del Vayo, on the nature of the Arab war "Fascists remain fascists, and nothing can change them."

Commentary

Abstract:

But in general the strength of the [Arab] league is based on the suppression of all progressive movements and civil rights at home. Only last week an eminent Moslem liberal, Fawzi al Husseini, cousin and opponent of the Mufti [i.e., Haj Amin al-Husseini], was assassinated because he advocated friendly relations with the Jews.

The so-called irreconcilable conflict between Arabs and Jews is another bluff invented out of whole cloth by the big powers to serve their special interests. I remember the day at Geneva, in the early twenties, when at a private dinner Feisal [Emir Feisal, son of the leader of the Arab revolt against the Turks [2]] openly expressed himself in support of the Zionist cause. At that time the other Arab countries were much less concerned about Palestine. The "war" between Jews and Arabs started later, as a result of the work done by [Anglican] Bishop [Rennie] Macinnes, a notorious anti-Semite who was sent by the British to Jerusalem, and by Cardinal Barlassina, the Vatican representative. With the aid of General Storrs, who was then governor of Jerusalem, they brought the Mufti's family to power, supplying funds and other forms of help in an effort to delay the logical solution of the Palestine problem.

To suggest that the Arab League is a British invention designed solely to combat Zionism would be to narrow the issue and ignore the great dangers involved. After all, the Palestine problem will sooner or later be solved. But there will remain the Arab states, which today, because of Anglo-Soviet rivalry in the Middle East, are playing an international role out of all proportion to their importance. Ultimately they may prove a nuisance to both the major powers. The present pro-British orientation of the Arabs is, to say the least, ephemeral; replying to the charge that the Arab League "speaks Arabic with a British accent," Secretary General Accam [Azzam] Pasha said: "This suit is made of British cloth, but I am wearing it." As for Russia, if it plays ball with the Arab states, it will come off no better than it did in Peron's Argentina. Fascists remain fascists, and nothing can change them.

@noir Maybe you can point me to racial eugenics programs and mass sterilization currently operated by Arab nations in comparison to the one that was run by Israel until recently? You keep throwing around the word "fascist" but I have this odd, sneaking suspicion you might not know what that word means in a political context.

The Jews were driven out or exterminated in the pathological pursuit of racial purity; the Arabs were simple instruments, used or ignored depending upon whichever approach best served to neutralize Britain.

Arab observers usually missed Nazism's special regard for empire and their own subordinate place in the Nazi racial scheme. (In a recent article, Stefan Wild shows how Hitler deigned to perpetuate Arab ignorance by permitting the deletion of passages 'offending the mentality and sensitivity of race-conscious Arabs' from a projected Arabic translation of Mein Kampf.)


The Nazis were mainly concerned about class conflict and Jewish Germans were class enemies, or the kulaks in Russian terms. According to a study by Cambridge University, 21% of Ivy League students, 23% of the wealthiest Americans, and 38% of the Oscar-winning film directors are Ashkenazi Jews in the United States. Jewish Germans made up similarly high percentages (>25%) among those who are economically or academically successful in German society. The Arabs believe Israel is built on 'stolen land' and they want to take back their land, making it a territorial dispute between the Arab states and Israel. The Charter of the Arab League endorsed the principle of an Arab homeland.

Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World by JEFFREY HERF


On March 31,1933, two months after Hitler came to power, Haj Amin el-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, called on Heinrich Wolff, head of the German Consulate in Jerusalem.2 In his report to the Auswartiges Amt (Foreign Ministry), Wolff wrote that Husseini said, "Muslims inside and outside Palestine welcome the new regime in Germany and hope for the spread of fascist, antidemocratic state leadership to other countries." In his view, "current Jewish influence on economy and politics" was "damaging everywhere and needed to be fought." In the hope of doing economic damage to the Jews, Husseini opined that "Muslims hope for a boycott of the Jews in Germany because it would then be adopted with enthusiasm in the whole of the Muslim world." Further, he was willing to spread the boycott message among Muslims traveling through Palestine and to "all Muslims." He also looked forward to trade with "non-Jewish merchants" dealing in German products.3 Husseini's remarks on March 1933 demonstrated his early enthusiasm for the Nazi regime based on his ideological support for its antidemocratic and anti-Jewish policies. Wolff reported that though anti-Jewish sentiment was not widespread in the Arab population, it was more prevalent in the upper strata and among the intellectuals, who together protested against "Jewish immigration, Jewish land purchases, and Jewish capital."4 The clear implication of Wolff's memo was that if the Nazi regime made appeals to Arabs and Muslims, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and perhaps others might become potential allies and collaborators.

The anger of the radical Arabs in Berlin often turned on fellow Arabs who entertained the possibility of coexistence with Jews in Palestine. On April 30, the Arab Nation expressed rage at Arab political leaders in the Jaffa municipality who organized athletic contests with Jewish athletes. This was "a very dangerous tendency." The Arabs could not "maintain their integrity without the decision to avoid the Jews and never go near them." The tendency toward friendship had to be resisted, for the Jewish danger remained. Force was the only solution. Arabs must refuse to share Palestine "with any other people.... Noble Arabs! You should maintain your policy of boycotting the Jews. You should punish those who ignore the boycott. All Arabs who collaborate with the Jews should be destroyed before they help the Jews destroy US . 1146


The flood of anti-Semitic propaganda on Germany's Arabic-language radio in the first six months of 1943 caught the attention of the Middle East desk of the U.S. Military Intelligence Division. Its summary of themes from Axis broadcasts issued in June 1943 suggested that the anti-Semitic offensive was even greater than that recorded by Kirk's staff in Cairo. The MID reported that the broadcasts repeated the following points: Only Axis victory would prevent the Jews from realizing their ambitions. Jews were the prophets of Bolshevism. The Arabs would be impoverished living under the British and Americans. The Jews needed to be suppressed. All Arabs who failed to boycott Jews should be destroyed.

Trump Admin Thwarts Irish Effort to Boycott Israel, Criminalize Trade



The Trump administration played a key role in thwarting a recent effort by the Irish government to boycott Israel and make it a crime for Irish citizens to purchase products made in contested areas of the Jewish state, a move that would have severely jeopardized Ireland's trade with the United States, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

The Irish Parliament was poised last week to pass a major piece of legislation that would make it crime to engage in trade with Israelis. The bill, which was seen as part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, would have imprisoned Irish citizens who purchased souvenirs in Israel for a maximum of five years and subjected them to a fine of more than $310,000.

Upon learning of the effort, senior Trump administration officials in the State Department are said to have scrambled to open up channels to Irish leaders in a bid to scuttle the bill and avoid a standoff with the Irish government over the measure.

Trump administration officials are said to have made clear to Irish leaders that passage of the bill would put them starkly at odds with the United States and subject them to inclusion on a list of countries supporting boycotts of the Jewish state.

While some Irish lawmakers described the effort as a "crackpot bill," its passage through the Parliament was all but assured until U.S. officials from the Trump administration became involved, multiple sources told the Free Beacon.

"All the credit here goes to the Trump State Department," said one senior official at a major pro-Israel organization who is familiar with the administration's efforts to stop the bill.

"This law was a done deal in Ireland. It was going to pass, and there would have been this insane situation where the Irish would be sending people to jail for buying souvenirs in the Old City, while the U.S. would have to put them on our list of countries that boycott Israel, which is not a good list to be on," said the source, who would only speak on background about the diplomacy, which U.S. officials are said to be keeping under wraps in order to avoid offending the Irish government.

"Instead, the State Department found out what was happening, and they scrambled to alert the Irish to the nature and risks of their own law, and Irish lawmakers came to their senses," the source said. "Crisis averted, at least for now."

The Irish boycott bill was ultimately tabled until the summer, though some sources expect that the bill will not be revisited anytime soon following Trump administration diplomatic efforts to oppose the legislation.

A senior State Department official with knowledge of the situation told the Washington Free Beacon that upon learning of the boycott effort, administration officials registered "strong opposition."

"Our strong opposition to boycotts and sanctions of the State of Israel is well known," said the official, who was not authorized to speak on record. "We look to other countries to join us in bringing an end to anti-Israel bias."

An official in the State Department's public affairs department would not publicly comment on the matter, telling the Free Beacon that it is against policy to "comment on private diplomatic conversations" that may have taken place over the issue.

The Irish boycott bill was supported and pushed along by activists associated with the BDS movement, which has been dubbed a virulently anti-Semitic global campaign to economically isolate the Jewish state.

While the bill would have criminalized trade with any entity producing goods in so-called Israeli settlements, the legislation would have had a much more severe chilling effect on trade between the countries. An Irish citizen who purchased souvenirs or small items while in Jerusalem could have faced harsh penalties and even prison time.

"In addition to running afoul of U.S. federal law, the bill would subject companies to U.S. state-level sanctions, violate European Union and international law, threaten Ireland's vital economic links to the United States, and hinder the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians," Orde Kittrie, an Arizona State University law professor and fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote in a recent op-ed.

U.S. companies with business interests in Ireland would have also been put in a tough position—either comply with the Irish boycott or run afoul of U.S. laws barring such efforts. American businesses could have been sanctioned by the United States for violating a score of state laws baring boycotts of Israel.

Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor at Northwestern University and expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, told the Free Beacon the Irish BDS bill would have taken a grave toll on U.S. companies.

"The Irish bill will pose a grave threat for U.S. companies with headquartered in Ireland, or U.S. subsidiaries of Irish companies," Kontorovich said. "All will be forced to effectively boycott Israeli companies, putting them in violation of U.S anti-boycott laws passed in the 1970s."

These laws come with heavy economic tolls and even jail time.

"It would also put Ireland in the unseemly position of prosecuting Irish Jews who get a tour of the Old City, or study at a yeshiva [Jewish school] there," he said." That is likely to run directly against U.S. human rights and anti-discrimination principles. U.S. law commands the president to take actions like such a potential law into consideration as a trade negotiation consideration. The Trump administration will surely welcome the Irish law as activating a congressional license to pressure U.S. firms there to repatriate."

Frances Black, the Irish senator who introduced the boycott bill, has a history of supporting economic warfare on the Jewish state.

Following careful and quiet intervention by the Trump administration over the matter, Simon Coveney, Ireland's deputy prime minister and minister for foreign affairs, publicly stated that the Irish government opposed the measure.

"While all the EU [European Union] member states oppose settlements, and many feel as strongly as Ireland, the legal position is that no such member state has yet taken the step to take action on a national basis on this issue," Coveney said on Jan. 30.

Stop trying to demonize a non-violent movement like BDS, noir. It is a movement with 3 principles which abide by International Law, which is probably why there is so much support for it amongst the people, in academia, amongst churches, etc.

Look, BDS just got nominated for a Nobel Peace Price. :D

Statement by Norwegian Parliamentarian Bjørnar Moxnes on Nominating the BDS Movement for Palestinian Rights for a Nobel Peace Prize:
As a member of the Norwegian parliament, I proudly use my authority as an elected official to nominate the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nominating the BDS movement for this recognition is perfectly in line with the principles I and my party hold very dear. Like the BDS movement, we are fully committed to stopping an ascendent, racist and right-wing politics sweeping too much of our world, and securing freedom, justice and equality for all people.

Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement and the American Civil Rights movement, the grassroots, Palestinian-led BDS movement is a peaceful, global human rights movement that urges the use of economic and cultural boycotts to end Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights and international law.

The BDS movement seeks to end Israel’s half-century of military rule over 4.5 million Palestinians, including the devastating ten-year illegal siege collectively punishing and suffocating nearly 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, the ongoing forcible eviction of Palestinians from their homes, and the theft of Palestinian land through the construction of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. It seeks equal rights for Palestinian citizens of Israel, currently discriminated against by dozens of racist laws, and to secure the internationally-recognized legal right of Palestinian refugees to return to homes and lands from which they were expelled. Palestinian refugees constitute nearly 50 percent of all Palestinians, and they are being denied their right to return, guaranteed by law to all refugees, simply because of their ethnicity.

The BDS movement’s aims and aspirations for basic human rights are irreproachable. They should be supported without reservation by all democratically-minded people and states.

The international community has a longstanding history of supporting peaceful measures such as boycotts and disinvestment against companies that profit from human rights violations. International support for such measures was critical in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the racist colonial regime in former Rhodesia.

If the international community commits to supporting BDS to end the occupation of Palestinian territory and the oppression of the Palestinian people, new hope will be lit for a just peace for Palestinians, Israelis and all people across the Middle East.

The BDS movement has been endorsed by prominent figures, including the former Nobel Peace Prize winners Desmond Tutu and Mairead Maguire. It is gaining support from unions, academic associations, churches, and grassroots movements for the rights of refugees, immigrants, workers, women, indigenous peoples and the LGBTQI community. It is increasingly embraced by progressive Jewish groups and anti-racist movements across the world.

Eleven years since BDS’ launch, it’s high time for us to commit to doing no harm, and for all states to withdraw their complicity in Israel’s military occupation, racist apartheid rule, ongoing theft of Palestinian land, and other egregious human rights violations.

Awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to the BDS movement would be a powerful sign demonstrating that the international community is committed to supporting a just peace in the Middle East and using peaceful means to end military rule and broader violations of international law.

My hope is that this nomination can be one humble but necessary step towards bringing forth a more dignified and beautiful future for all peoples of the region.

:lol:

Isn't the Free Beacon the same rag that accused Jon Ossoff of being part of Al Queda?

Also, boycott has an Irish origin (it's where the English word comes from). It far precedes the Nazis.
#14887540
Wow I think we mix here things.

The Arab/ Islamic policy stands for itself.
They do colaborate with anti-semite movements, as having a common foe, but I wouldn't say they just copy.
The more I read on Islamic history, the more anti-semetism revealed. Jews lived in similar persecutions to midiaval Europe, been prevented from owning a land, working in most professions, owning a weapon- leading them an easy target to their neighbours; and there were plenty of pogroms toward Jews. Mimondus / Yehuda ha LEvi escaped from Spain from Arab riots against Jews! In Yemen in 1600~ they made severe pogroms and killed 75% of the Jews. And there were of course also good periods, as there were good periods in Europe for Jews.
Boycotting Israel, a policy that was part of the 50-60th, was a governmental descision of Islamists and National-Socialist Arab regimes.
The foundation to the sever conflict were varies : Islamic, diverting the crowd- based on its inherent anti-semitism and racism, imperial aspirations, humiliation, the cold war facing both sides in a conflict, etc.
Of course they have learned stuff from European ideologies, but Arab anti-semetism was formed a thousand years earlier.
Today though, as Israel is turning into a valid reality- people slowly accept it here, and most Arab world literaly having business with Israel, and they don't boycott companies who trade Israel as they thretened western companies in the 50th.

It's a coppy. The Arab Executive Committee of the Syrian-Palestinian Congress called for a boycott of Jewish businesses. (Wikipedia). The boycott we kniw today, started on 2 December 1945 by the Arab League, it issued its first formal declaration of an economic boycott of the Jewish community of Palestine.

During the war the Mufti (the Arab Palestinian leader who found refuge as Hitler guest) repeated call on Berlin radio to keep the boycott.
